Recent KACL merge in KIO 3.5

I noticed that ACL support was recently added to KIO.  Unfortunately, it 
breaks building kdelibs on my system.  I was simply going to fix it but I 
need help with some things. ;)

Since it's part of kdelibs, I assume that KACL must always be available to be 
linked against, even if the system doesn't support POSIX ACLs.  So this would 
mean that kacl.{h,cpp} must be included with appropriate #ifdefs to handle 
HAVE_ACL, no?

If this isn't the case (and ACLs are only publicly exported through KFileItem) 
then I can simply #ifdef the appropriate definitions in kfileitem.cpp to fix 
the build I think.  But I doubt that's the case, and I don't know how to 
implement KACL appropriately when ACL support is missing.

I have committed a fix for the Makefile.am though, so it's a start.
